    So when I get a job I am going to make a 20 gallon (24x24x9) rimless tank. I do not want to drill this tank because as you all know glass is expensive and I dont want to crack it. Does anyone know any DIY overflow ideas and explanations? The tank is going to look sick

    It's pretty easy, nothing to stress about. :)

    I love drilling a tank! Much safer than any other system when it comes to keeping water in your tank and not on your floor.

    If you don't want to you can also run it by you local glass shop I'm sure they will do it for a small fee (around 20 to 40 bucks)
